  • The driver can select the Driver Attention Warning mode.
    - Off: The Driver Attention Warning system is disabled.
    - Normal: The Driver Attention Warning system warns the driver when fatigue or an inattentive driving style is detected.
    - High: The Driver Attention Warning system warns the driver earlier than in Normal mode when fatigue or an inattentive driving style is detected.
  • The selected Driver Attention Warning setting is maintained when the engine is restarted.

Driver Attention Level Display

  • The driver can check the driving condition on the LCD display. The DAW screen appears when the Driver Assistance mode tab () is activated on the LCD display. (Refer to "LCD Modes" on page 4-65.)
  • The driver attention level is displayed on a scale from 1 to 5. The lower the number, the less attentive the driver.
  • The number decreases when the driver continues driving without a break for a certain period of time.
  • The number increases when the driver takes a break for a certain period of time.
  • If the system is turned on while the vehicle is moving, the time of the last break and the corresponding attention level are displayed.

Take a Break

  • The message "Consider taking a break" (Maybe you should take a break) appears on the LCD display and a warning sound is emitted to remind the driver to take a break when the driver attention level is 1 or lower.
  • The Driver Attention Warning system does not prompt the driver to take a break until the total driving time exceeds 10 minutes.
